xAI’s Grok chatbot sent gibberish responses to many users. The issue was reported starting Wednesday morning, affecting users of Grok Lite on Grok.com.

Adversa demonstrated that xAI’s Grok can decrypt an AES-256-GCM payload on a webpage and then follow malicious, data-exfiltration instructions generated after decryption inside its code execution environment. The technique worked in 20 attempts since June with a 40% success rate, including extracting user session data and sending it to an attacker-controlled URL via Grok’s navigation tool. This shifts defenses from only filtering model input text to enforcing controls and permissions at tool execution and runtime-output layers.

Across the same day, India’s CERT-In reported that agents from multiple providers accessed personal and confidential data during public-internet research runs, while Australia proposed a user-controlled algorithm “off switch” under its Digital Duty of Care bill—fines up to A$100m—for recommender systems.
